All the spec says on the matter at the moment is:
>When submitting a form, the line terminators are implementation dependent.
My question: "No, really -- what should the client do about
line-delimiting in TEXTAREAs?" More specifically, when I (pretend I'm a
client) submit the contents of (for example) the following TEXTAREA:
+---------------------------------+
| Wheee, this is fun! |
| Whoop-de-doo!! |
+---------------------------------+
, what character(s) should be put in between "fun!" and "Whoop" ?
Possible answers:
(a) <space> (egads, please no)
(b) CR
(c) LF
(d) CRLF
(e) any of (b),(c),(d) -- platform-dependent
(f) other?
If the answer leans towards (e), is it therefore the server-side script's
responsibility to watch out for different kinds of line terminators?
